## Questions & Answers

**Q: do the propellors spin once assembled?**
A: Hi there, yes, you can spin them manually.  - Your Friends at Basic Fun (Basic Fun owns Knex)

**Q: can i get extra pieces for this ?**
A: Hi there, there are no refill packs for sale currently.  The way to receive additional build pieces would be to purchase another Tinkertoy kit.  There are several for sale on Amazon and are all compatible with each other.  HAPPY BUILDING - enjoy - your friends at Basic Fun (Basic Fun owns Tinkertoy)   Please visit the Basic Fun website to see more kits available as well (we are not permitted to post our website on this page but google it.)

**Q: Why are they not wood? Is says classic but the classic ones were wood and those are the ones we want,redesigned or not these are not classic!**
A: Hi there, this is the customer service team at Knex/Basic Fun.  Knex began manufacturing Tinker Toys around 2008/2009.  After extensive market research, the Tinker Toys were redesigned with improvements including a specific design made easier to snap & stay together.  The scale was changed since the originals but not enough to make it impossible to snap into the older Tinker Toys.  They are similar in size (the old to the new) so in some cases, the snap will work well and in some cases, it will not work well.  Hope this helps you.  All Tinker Toys are made in the USA.
Regarding the "wood" version.  Knex did produce some wood based kits in 2008 as well but then stopped manufacturing in wood due to some issues.  We hope to reintroduce the wood version back to the market in the future!

All K’NEX products, including TINKERTOY® (licensed from Hasbro®), the TINKERTOY Basic and 100 Piece Essentials Set, are designed from start to finish to be safe.

Hours of fun spent building with these. My grandson was extremely proud that he was able to build something. Bonus of counting and color matching as we look at the picture to determine how many pieces and what color was necessary for our project!
